The association processes personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, executing, and terminating membership or for exercising and fulfilling rights and obligations arising from the law or for protecting legitimate interests. Relevant data includes, in particular, personal details such as name, address, contact details, bank details, date of birth, as well as the date of joining and leaving and the duration of membership. Data collection usually takes place directly from you.

3. The legal basis for processing personal data is data protection legislation, specifically Art. 6 (1) DS-GVO, as far as the consent of the affected member is required.

5. The data will be processed by the association for as long and to the extent necessary to fulfill the tasks in section 2. If the data is no longer required, it will be regularly deleted in accordance with the 10-year statutory retention period, unless further processing is required to preserve evidence within statutory limitation periods, which can be up to 30 years but typically last 3 years.

6. As a data subject, you have the right to access, rectify, delete, restrict processing, object, and data portability (Art. 15 to 21 DS-GVO). However, access and deletion rights are subject to legal restrictions under §§ 34 and 35 BDSG.

7. If you have given consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time, with future effect. The lawfulness of processing up to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
